PLC HMI Automation Support Engineer Midlands
A Control Systems Company, whose Engineers support a wide range of manufacturers, factories, and maintenance teams, solving PLC control systems problems on site. Industrial automation is increasing across the UK, so these PLC Engineers are in demand- and we need to add to the team.
We have a vacancy for an extra Automation Support Engineer covering the Midlands-- Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Northampton, Kettering -- many customer sites around here, so all would be a good place to live and go to site from home.
The PLC Systems Engineers go to site to help the maintenance engineers by fault finding using the PLC, using your ability to fault find using the software, using the PLC as a diagnostic tool to find the loose wire, the fogged over sensor, the reason why the machine stopped- and rectify it.
You're probably a Maintenance Engineer – you’ve worked with one of the main PLC’s (such as Siemens TIA Portal, S7, WinCC, or Allen Bradley, Omron, Mitsubishi for example). You don’t need to be a PLC programmer, fault finding, hands -on skills, PLC diagnostics, an interest in fixing production machinery, going deeper into control systems as you go along.
Rewards: A basic salary from £44000 - £46000, plus paid overtime above that, company vehicle, plus a comprehensive benefits package.
Regrettably there is no sponsorship for a UK work permit with this vacancy.

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.
